How to handle reject in Join

[srai]

Hi,

I have join two tables based on id columns using JOIN stage.

There are some reject means after joining two table some records are not satisfying the joining criteria . I would like to capture those records.
Any tips how to handle the rejects after joining?

Use Transformer stage after join stage. Capture reject rows using Null handling function IsNull.

Data's rejected in join stage cannot pass through the transformer after the join stage for the records which have been rejected initially.
If you are comparing two tables then you can use the Lookup stage for capturing the rejected records else try to capture the NULL records using the transformer before the join stage.

if you are dealing with huge amount of data then use Merge Stage to capture the unmatching records.

Thanks,

There's no such thing as rejects from a join - there's only the result of the join. It's the same in DataStage as it is in SQL.

What you are looking for is an outer join... left/right/full depending on which side you are interested in finding these "rejects", then in subsequent stage identify those where left/right data is missing

or alternatively use the lookup with a fail condition to a new link
